Does the political system uphold American political values?
• The federal government has increased its regulatory power over much of our daily lives, effectively minimizing liberty. • Throughout our history, Americans have debated the nature of equality and the role of government in ensuring equality. Inequality is still a major issue in American society. • Despite the expansion of suffrage, many Americans feel disenfranchised. The increasing importance of money in politics has increased voter apathy and reduced voter turnout in recent years.
